Not trying to put a dampener on things at all but is it legal to reproduce company logo's like you have done and as seen on the race cars???

Just curious.

Excellent job BTW

I like it.

The white Lj with the OXU 200 plates was a NSW car, Had a set of simmons and used to run low,low 10's on a gassed 308, mid 1990's. George is the Fella's name who owned it...Good friend of mine!

Cheers Greg..

they paid for the advertising on the original car, so I suppose they are getting their moneys worth

On an idea thrown up by 830HP I checked the upper bump stops on the front..one is crushed and the left side has lost the small cup that holds it in..soo...I ripped the uppers out of the LJ GTR wreck I have ..punched out the old rubbers and fitted the nolathene bitch of a things I hadnt fitted before..while I am there ..will do new upper ball joints and fit the new bumps stop rubbers...now the car has been TOTALLY rebuilt from top to bottom!. Worked out thats why it looked to dive so much under brakes in the pics.

Got the new upper arms in, WHAT A BITCH OF A JOB! Had to drop the front subframe with the engine in it to clear the body to get the old ones out and the new ones in..Interesting to say the least! The pass was a bitch and the drivers side fell in. New springs are here Thursday and it can all go back together..Wheel alignment Sat and all is good to go for Speed on Tweed. :spoton:

Set it up with 3.9 neg on passenger side..just right for Speed which is mostly right hand corners. Sits a bit lower..looks a lot more like the original now.
